why is body shaming skinny people under the guise of health still condoned but fat acceptance is at an all time high?
- fat and skinny men are body shamed but if your a fat chick you can love yourself the way you are and feel free to wear spandex daily.robotron3k
- fat people are angry people because they are usually hangrypinkfloyd

Hosted an impromptus house party for no reason. Cuz I felt like it. Sent out invites with only 12hrs prior to the event. 16 people showed up. Success! :D I’ve still got it!!
Now just gotta deal with the mess.....

Turned 39 two months ago, almost a year after a long term relationship ended. Was fat and depressed etc. Decided I wanted to get into shape but not take it seriously, just lift weights and laugh about it if I actually get muscles as I'm totally not the type.
Well it turns out I'm starting to get some muscles and its pretty funny. I tried explaining it to my friend how it's sort of like a personal joke how I want to look like I'm wearing a muscle suit and then end up just end up actually having muscles and they don't get it.
Intro training session. Trainer asked what my goals were: "Henry Rollins neck."
Trainer nodded sagely, without missing a beat, "Focus on shrugs, shave your head, buy some cheap shorts".

To the married people, would you ever hire your wife/husband?
Im currently looking to hire another designer, and my wife (who is a designer) is out of work.
People keep telling me to bring her in, but I for me I still need the separation between my job and my family.. what about you guys?
- Oh hell no.DRIFTMONKEY
- Nah.monospaced
- if you need help, tell her it's only temporary project that way she'll still need to look elsewhere... but yes separation at all cost.robotron3k
- It can work.Gnash
- I’ve worked on projects with my wife. In the end we ended up agreeing that all $ we made together would be shared equally. Otherwise you just fight about it.monospaced
- Most likely one person will do most of the actual work anyways, and the other will still want more than their share. So just avoid that and carry on.monospaced

ugh.
just went full skynet on my house, connecting lights, sound system, displays, smoke alarm, and security cameras to google home. it's cool and everything but now it feels like i have a half-retarded, deaf housekeeper that i'm shouting at all the time
hey google. google. HEY GOOGLE! OKAY GOOGLE!
fuck's sake, i can just pick up a remote and have it done faster
- Can’t you just hit a button on your phone and say what you want?monospaced
- yeah that works but i have to have my phone, unlock it, hold down home and say the command. i could just stand up and turn the lights on myselfscarabin
- lolGuyFawkes
- sounds creepy.inteliboy
- The fun really starts when the google shitbox gets a firmware update that breaks everything. Or, more likely, Google shelves the project and stops support.face_melter
- did you do the Pixel 2 combo?sofakingback
- galaxy s8+ but will prob get a pixel nextscarabin
- should just get a butler...pango
- google! chicken cam on!drgs
- I use Siri to do this stuff, and don’t have to unlock the phone. I can even use the Siri remote for the Apple TV for it. Saves time for sure and pretty conveniemonospaced
- But that’s essentially using a remote, like you said. Even then it’s convenient giving a single voice command and having any number of things respond.monospaced

- The audio response on my google home works really well. You'll have to get Mini for the other rooms. I just wish activation was 'one word.' instead of hey googlHayoth
- I'm with fadein11! Its not I dont like it - I just dont trust the people behind the technologymugwart
- Is there any more trust for Amazon over Google? Just curious?ETM
- i don't trust either of them but i figure i'm only on this planet for a few more decades, might as well enjoy the tech and not live like a dinosaurscarabin
- Is it possible to change the prompt from "OK Google" to anything else i.e. "OK Wiretap" or "OK Prism"?prophetone

- It sounds like more work than convenience. Ooh. My refrigerator is online. Nobody needs shit like that.jagara
- What you don't like to check with your fridge on the way home and see if you need milk?ETM
- Then your fridge starts sending you push notifications when fruit/veg goes bad. Then it opens a FB account and friends you. I see no downsides.ETM

i like the idea of that new series "bright", but was hoping it would have more of a shadowrun vibe. it kind of turned out to be a show about a society of racists and a cop who turns out to be harry potter

Chin up. Onto better opportunities. Always.Krassy - The "interview" process sucks these days... it's such a huge investment of time putting all the pressure on the employee.yuekit
- hey i_monk, take a day but keep pressing. one thing I've noticed is that each time I got the disappointing letter, it just set me up for something which was sonotype
- *is so much more deserving. You'll get the job you want bud - n' we'll all be here to celebrate with you ;)notype
- the girlfriend went through same thing. 1 month of back and forth. multiple interviews. they passed on her.futurefood
- she secures another job. then a month later they reach out to her asking to interview again. bunch of ass clowns...futurefood
- Hate the time wasted. They should give away $100 non-refundable deposits before each interview.Maaku
- I'm coming for you pango!i_monk
- sorry to hearGnash
- burn the past like yodasince1979
- sucks!utopian
- Ask them, what you could do better. And then decide, if you want to do that at your next opportunity.
But most important: Don't worry.Longcopylover - Ask for some structured feedback and tell them you want to use it for the next opportunity - keep doing this and you'll get the right jobSlashPeckham

Back to fucking work today after getting to spend nearly two weeks off over the festive period and spending all that time with our little 9 month old girl.
Was the happiest I think I've ever been!A guy I know in Sweden who had a kid a couple of months before us, his wife has just finished her maternity leave and he's about to start his 8 month paternity leave. Dads have got a great gig over there.
Mighty fucking jealous!
I'd kill for that precious time with our wee girl to see her develop into a walking talking toddler.- Try to spend all the time you can with her, without losing your job, obviously ;)OBBTKN
- I'd happily be a stay-at-home dad. The joy of children is much better than the grief of clients! ;)microkorg
- wish there was another way than what society dictates for some peopleSunSunSun_
- I feel like that's the way it should be - spending time with your little one as much as you wantSunSunSun_
- Corporate lobbying vs people deciding how they want to livedrgs
- Work life balance is one of the main reasons I stay at my job. Able to feed my kids breakfast and usually make it home before they sleep.dirtydesign
- Depending when she gets up I usually have a couple of hours with her in the morning before going to work ...microkorg
- ... then nearly a couple of hours at night when I get home. So it's not too bad.I never work late in the office - if i have to then i take work home to do latermicrokorg
- remote working fulltime has been great. been able to see every day of my daughter for almost 3 years and when my son is off school.slinky
